  1. Prerna Gupta –

    This book provides a nuanced interpretation of Urdu ghazal. I found it insightful and thought-provoking! Though the language may be daunting at times.

  2. Preethi Vardhan Yadav Golla –

    Petievich provides valuable insights into cultural authority and literary competition. However, the focus on ghazal texts may not appeal to all readers.

  3. Oisharya Chaudhuri –

    Excellent analysis! I found the exploration of cultural dynamics fascinating. It sheds light on the nuances of literary history, though prior knowledge is helpful for full comprehension.

  4. Dharm Pal –

    While well-researched, the book felt a little narrow in scope. It is great for academics, but less accessible to those new to the subject. Worth reading for specialists.

  5. Neha Sharma –

    A fascinating deep dive into Urdu ghazal! Petievich’s arguments are compelling, though the academic tone can be a bit dense at times. Still, a worthwhile read for those interested in the subject.

  6. Sourav Kumar –

    The book offered a different perspective, but it felt like a bit of a slog to get through. Good information, but not the most engaging writing.

  7. Abhishek Kumar Nishad –

    Interesting take on the rivalry, but I found it somewhat dry. I was hoping for a more engaging narrative. The book is meticulously researched.

  8. Nitish Negi –

    I appreciated the fresh perspective on Delhi and Lucknow. It challenges assumptions about social context. Sometimes, the language was a bit too academic for casual reading. A great scholarly resource.

  9. Suman –

    A dense but rewarding read. This book truly enhanced my understanding of Urdu poetry and its historical background. Some parts require multiple readings to grasp fully.
